How to block Anonymous inbound Calls

[Ricky]

I have followed these instructions:

Configuration

Call Block works by checking the incoming callerid number against its database. If the callerid number and domain match, then the call can be blocked depending on the options that you set for that number.

For a particular Incoming Route (in Dailplan/Incoming Routes menu):

• Add an Action (bottom of Incoming dialplan page)
• set Tag=Action
• set Order=70 (some number such that the action is performed before the Transfer action)
• set Type=lua
• Set Data=call_block.lua C
• Group can be left empty
• Click Save

The result should be a line in the incoming dialplan that looks like:

• 'action lua call_block.lua C 70' just above the 'action transfer' line

Usage

Call Block appears on the Apps list. To manage your list of Blocked callers click on Apps/Call Block.. This shows you the current list of callerids.

To add:

• Click on the + sign
• Select one of the recent callers (click on + sign at RH side of page) to add it to the list OR
• Manually enter the required information at the bottom of the page
• Set the Action that you want to occur for that caller
• Enable the action and click Save

with no luck. Has anyone solved this issue. Thanks

What number (callerID) are you using to try and block anon calls?

 

[Ricky]

Not sure what the question is.... What callerID are you referring.

I think what @jsteel means is that the post title was "How to block Anonymous inbound Calls" but then you were doing something with the call blocking module that seems totally unrelated.
